The Microflex^®Advance^™ Ceiling Array is a premium networked array microphone for AV conferencing environments, including boardrooms, huddle rooms, and multi-purpose spaces. The ceiling array uses Shure's Steerable Coverage^™ with Autofocus^™ technology: 8 highly directional pickup lobes capture participant audio from overhead, continually fine-tuning the position of each lobe in real time as participants lean back in their chairs or stand up .

The microphone also includes the IntelliMix^® DSP suite, which includes AEC, noise reduction, automatic mixing, and more. Control the microphone with Shure Designer software, or a browser-based web application. The microphone integrates seamlessly with Dante^™ digital networked audio, AES67, and third-party preset controllers, including Crestron and AMX, to deliver a high-quality AV conferencing experience that appeals equally to integrators, consultants, and meeting participants.
